Welcome to the Fantasy Football IDP WK8 AFC Interior Defensive Lineman Start/Sit Charts presented by GridironRatings.com Where the only original and proven IDP start/sit chart “cheat sheets” via The IDP Tipster can be found. And yes, there are a few imitators, but there is only one true original five-step formula IDP tactical tool. A formula with a well-tested history for over a decade and a proven high-hit rate in IDP play well before sharing it with the public four years ago. And all of that history and relevancy is only available here for G.R. fantasy football family members.

Needing to split those IDP hairs between two or more players with the same color code? Besides our great Player Ratings located in the main menu, our Oddsmakers IDP tactical tools were originally intended to do just that. And they are located on our The IDP Tipster member page or perhaps even on our main article page.

NEW! THE ORIGINAL START/SIT CHARTS AND ODDSMAKER “IN TANDEM TUTORIAL” ARTICLE
Fantasy Football IDP WK8
The Fantasy Football AFC Defensive Lineman IDP Start/Sits cheat sheet charts contain all the interior defensive lineman in both NFL defensive schemes.
If you are looking for names like Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa, or Danielle Hunter…
Those are defensive ends in the NFL’s 4-3 defensive scheme and are now located with the 3-4 schemed Outside Linebackers in the new Edge Rusher charts. So if you do not see your players name, and unsure as to why. They likely can be found there, where we apply an even deeper formula to get these weekly start/sits right for IDP sack-heavy formats
Week 8 / AFC Interior D-Lineman
NOTICE – Chart Key Marking Fine-Tuning Update
This was not applied to all the charts yet but will be by WK6. We are using a new STAR method this year that needed a better user-friendly feel.
Avoid Weak
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Barley Solid
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Firm Solid
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Really Solid
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Firm Strong
☆☆☆☆☆ 5/5
Questionable (?) – Out (O)
Doubtful – (D) – Injuried Reserve (IR)
AFC NORTH
Ravens Interior D-Lineman
Calais Campbell
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Derek Wolfe
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Brandon Williams
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Jihad Ward
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Steelers. Wolfe could have a touch of upside if he can handle and receive a full workload. And of course, Campbell has his own upside that we have included. But need to mention his ceiling capped is nowhere near what it was before the bye and against the Eagles.
Bengals Interior D-Lineman
Geno Atkins
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Christian Covington
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Xavier Williams
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Amani Bledsoe
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: After no one hitting par when the marks and matchup were basically the same last contest, as marked versus the Titans this week.
Browns Interior D-Lineman
Sheldon Richardson
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Larry Ogunjobi
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Jordan Elliott
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Vincent Taylor
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Raiders and one of them will likely overachieve.
Steelers Interior D-Lineman
Cameron Heyward
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Stephon Tuitt
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Tyson Alualu
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Chris Wormley
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: The squad was held in check and didn’t hit par versus the Titans good O-line last contest. So their upside actually hit the wall considering their total body of work this year. But we can expect a bounce-back this weekend versus the Ravens who gift production to the IDLs.
AFC south
Texans Interior D-Lineman
J.J. Watt
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
P.J. Hall (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Brandon Dunn
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Charles Omenihu
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: Bye Week.
Colts Interior D-Lineman
DeForest Buckner
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Denico Autry
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Grover Stewart
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Sheldon Day
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Lions and adding that Buckner’s upside got him where he is. And he is really going to have to work hard to get there.
Jaguars Interior D-Lineman
Adam Gotsis
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Davon Hamilton
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Taven Bryan
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Abry Jones
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: Bye Week.
Titans Interior D-Lineman
Jeffery Simmons
☆☆☆☆☆ 5/5
DaQuan Jones
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Jack Crawford
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
Matt Dickson
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: All day long versus the Bengals. And Jones has upside we didn’t include.
AFC East
Bills Interior D-Lineman
Ed Oliver
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Quinton Jefferson (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Vernon Butler (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Harrison Phillips
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Justin Zimmer
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: If this was any other average unit we would have went three and a half stars minimal versus the Patriots. Someone will likely overachieve based on what the Patriots bring to the table.
Dolphins Interior D-Lineman
Christian Wilkins
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Zach Sieler
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Raekwon Davis
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Davon Godchaux (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Rams. Adding, Wilkins could have some upside, but since their other stud DT Godchaux hit the I.R, teams have stifled him a bit.
Patriots Interior D-Lineman
Lawrence Guy
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Deatrich Wise Jr.
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Adam Butler (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
Derek Rivers
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: If you’re looking for a barely just solid, Guy is your man versus the Bills.
Jets Interior D-Lineman
Quinnen Williams
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Henry Anderson
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Steve McLendon
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.4/5
Folorunso Fatukasi
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: If you’re looking for a barely just solid, Williams is your man versus the Chiefs.
AFC west
Broncos Interior D-Lineman
Shelby Harris
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Dre’mont Jones
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Deshawn Williams
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Mike Purcell (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Jurrell Casey (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: Be careful with jones, he is new on the scheme with injuries still hitting the Broncos. But via the reports and his snap count last week, he should be good to go as marked versus the Chargers. And may even have a little untapped upside.
Chiefs Interior D-Lineman
Chris Jones
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Derrick Nnadi
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Tershawn Wharton
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Mike Pennel
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Jets and adding that Wharton saw a lot more playing time in week 7. But that may have been because the Chiefs were way out front. But what that did do was hamper our marks on everyone but Jones. Because they all took a hit in playing time, and we can’t afford to guess it was only because of the game flow. Jones is our target, the rest have some upside, and one will likely overachieve the mark.
Maybe we should mention that Kpassagon is in our edge charts, and a suggested waiver wire picks up. He is a DE so technically could be here as a DL if you’re looking at that designation. Just thought we would add that, in case it helps some owner out.
Chargers Interior D-Lineman
Linval Joseph
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Jerry Tillery
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Damion Square
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Justin Jones (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Broncos.
Raiders Interior D-Lineman
Johnathan Hankins
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Maurice Hurst
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Maliek Collins
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
David Irving
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: It’s the best we could do with Hankins and this group. Maybe the team adding Irving, who has flashed before in his career, can turn things around. But for now, versus the Browns, it’s the best we can do even if the matchup on paper by itself would be really solid for most other IDLs.
